When Bikram says…s

"It's never too late, you're never too old, you're never too sick to start from scratch again, to be born again." – Bikram Choudhury.

…he's really not kidding. You really are never too sick or too old to do Bikram Yoga and give yourself a chance to transform your body and your life.

How does it work?

It all comes down to the HEAT and the specific poses that Bikram has chosen to include in the series of 26 postures. While your body's core temperature will only rise about a mere 0.5 of a degree, your body's ligaments, muscles, tendons and other soft tissues will warm up to allow powerful healing to take place.

The heat allows these parts of the body to stretch further, more comfortably and safer. Safety is most important because it means there's less chance of new injury, or re-injury of old scar tissue.

The heat also 'thins' the blood – this means that it circulates more freely than at room temperature. As the blood circulates it flushes out toxins in your organs and calcium build up in joints.

Suffer from sluggish circulation?

Then Bikram yoga is ideal! In fact, after a Bikram Yoga class you'd be hard pressed NOT to notice the blood swooshing around in your body.
